Surprise! Blog Comments Marketing Is Not Dead.

Svetlana Gladkova

I think the most intriguing article I’ve read over the last week was the one where Wired magazine told the world that blogs were so old-fashioned that no one should expect to launch and grow a new blog big enough to be noticed at all any more. I can honestly tell this is one of [...]

Social Media and Passive Racism

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

There's another side of social media, and some of us were unfortunate enough to have witnessed it tonight. Louis Gray has already written about the events that occurred during a Yahoo! Live broadcast with Wayne Sutton and Corvida. I was only there for part of it after seeing a Tweet from Louis and logging in [...]

Going Viral

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

Yesterday was probably one of the most surreal days I’ve had in almost 15 years online, by far. I’d been talking to Louis Gray about doing some guest posting on his blog, and had a cute little story that I didn’t feel fit in anywhere else, so I wrote it up for his blog as [...]

The Closest Knit Community Online

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

I'm not talking about the tech blogosphere, who've shown a decided preference for infighting and attempting to eat their young. I'm talking about parents. We exist in all forms online: in the tech blogosphere, in MMOs, on forums, and as mommy bloggers, but no matter what area we find ourselves spending most of our time [...]

Take the Red Pill: We Have No True Web 2.0

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

The other night, my husband asked me a question I had no answer for: when we've moved on to whatever Web 3.0 is going to be, what will be left of Web 2.0? There are carryovers from the 1.0 Bubble, but when you think about it, the Web itself is 1.0. And Tim Berners-Lee himself [...]

The Embargo Breaks: The Regurgitation of a Press Release

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

I missed an embargo lifting this morning. It's happened on occasion when life has overtaken my planned schedule for testing and writing, or we've missed an email due to the enormous amount of spam that often comes into the address for pitches, but I would much rather miss being "one of the first" to review [...]

FriendFeed: The New Echo Chamber

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

Poor Louis. He may end up sorry that he ever raised his FriendFeed pompoms toward me. I’ve spent the past two days crawling all over FriendFeed to give it the chance that I never did. I added it to Twhirl so I could follow the updates during the day. The truth is that I now [...]

Are You and Your Significant Other Both Social Media Mavens?

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

I started thinking about how spouses and partners react to social media yesterday, after receiving a few comments about my interactions with my husband on Twitter. We probably aren’t the typical couple, having met in an online chat room in 1995, and we have been known to IM each other across the couch rather than [...]

RSS Day: Interview with RSSmeme Creator Ben Golub

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

All hail Twitter Local which clued me in that RSSmeme creator Ben Golub actually lives in my own backyard. I planned on waiting until the next Open Coffee Club to grill him, but in honor of RSS Day, I bumped up my plan of attack and he agreed to an interview in honor of the [...]

Web 2.0 Expo So Far

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

It's been absolutely insanely busy here at Web 2.0 Expo. It's great getting to meet so many people and showing them the Profy platform, but I'm also a little bit bummed I haven't been able to get around to more booths and attend more sessions. It's like Disneyland here: too much to do in four [...]
